Can blizzard just stop making games with pvp when they clearly have Zero idea how to balance them, it would be so easy. that is all. no need to reply just tilted ![:slight_smile:](https://d1kzxbyyijk9k6.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
They make “This game was never supposed to become an esport” type of games that they end up pushing as esports even though the games aren’t competitive at all due to a lack of balance and good design.
Blizzard should stop making video games and make animated movies instead
Just to give you a wider image. Balancing a game is hard since you have many types of players, what’s op in one rank can be absolute garbage in another (like symmetra with her old lock-on beam being op af in lower elos, and often being a troll pick in higher ones.)
If you look at win rates over all ranks, it goes from 56% to 48%, an 8% margin which can easily be explained by what’s meta at the moment, knowing that meta’s will change and all heroes eventually get a chance in the spotlight.
Now look at a game like league of legends, with a crap ton of champions. The win rates go from 42% to 56%, a 14% margin.
Now look at Dota 2, going from 38% to 58% a 20% margin.
And finally, HOTS going from 20% to 58% a 38% margin.
Granted those three games have many more heroes which obviously makes the margin larger, but considering that, Overwatch’s stats don’t seem too insane.
Overwatch has some balancing issues, just like every single competitive class based game ever, but they’re doing a damn good job at trying to please everyone, despite making changes based on stats.
Tl;Dr Balancing is hard, and OW tends to do a decent job relative to other games.
There is nobody forcing anyone to play something they don’t like/enjoy.
Just buy any game you like and have fun, if it’s not ow then why the hell are you still here on the ow forums?
